An outstanding example of Cotes du Rhone with generous fruit bomb qualities that could easily be identified as a cross between McLaren Vale and BarossaValley.

Very deep black purple colour with purple mauve hue.  The nose is impressive with lifted top notes of blackberry, raspberry and liquorice followed by spice and violets.  The palate has weight and a delightful sense of ‘joosy’ richness not often found in French wine.  Flavours of raspberry, raspberry jube, liquorice and spice are evident over a black cherry background.  Fine grained tannins, perfect balance followed by a very long aftertaste of cherry, raspberry, liquorice allsorts and spice.
